textual-paint
=============

What if MS Paint isn't retro enough?
You need Paint in your terminal.

This is a TUI (Text User Interface) image editor, inspired by MS Paint, and built with [Textual](https://textual.textualize.io/).


## Development

Install Textual and Stransi:
```bash
pip install "textual[dev]" "stransi"
```

Run supporting live-reloading CSS:
```bash
textual run --dev paint.py
```

Or run normally:
```bash
python paint.py
```
